Wow some of these photos are really cool, others i cant see because im at work and some links are randomly blocked!

wish i could use my camera that well, i just point and shoot :D

Well for me, i was using a 300 2.8 and a 1.4x TC and it still wasn't long enough :D Next time i go Oran Park/Wakefield i'll take a 500, for those nice tight shots.

damn and here i was thinking my 70-200 was good enough for wakefield..

but you are right.. You need atleast 400 for wakefield.

Perhaps a nice 100-400 lens will be good!!

Nice shots btw

A 70-200 is sufficient but severe cropping is needed for those really nice tight shots. I use my 70-200 sometimes when i go there, but would rather use a 500 (although its a bitch to get a sharp panning shot with one!!) Although heat haze and atmospheric haze comes into play at those lengths sometimes which sucks.

I had a 100-400 but i sold it. Was soft wide open at 400 and backfocusing like crazy, i just couldn't deal with it, sent it to canon and they said nothing was wrong with it, so i ended up losing $500 on it.

I should have my 70-200 again.. I sold it to fund this: - shot taken few hours ago :D

Work still in progress tho!! getting there slowly

just a few random snaps when I was on vacation, not trying to be artistic, just wanted to share :rofl2:

some were taken with an iphone, some with a camera

got the chance to visit my old army barracks in the philippines as some parts are open to the public and is used as a tourist attraction, I didn't get the chance to see my old room and proving grounds up close unfortunately, I would've needed the proper documentation and would've had to request clearance at least a day in advance :sick:

IMG_0016.jpg

my fathers family live in Baguio city, a large city in a mountainous area in the northern philippines, the scenery is very beautiful and my pics do not do them justice, here is one example on the outskirts of the city maybe a half hour drive up the mountains

IMG_0056-1.jpg

another tourist attraction, an old church run by spanish missionaires from as early as the 1700s (I think) the church itself is blocked off for heritage preservation reasons, but the long stairway leading to them and the sculpture of mary at the top is still draws a lot of pilgrims

DSCF1155.jpg

they have giftshops and food stalls along the way up, it's a long climb :D this pic was taken from about 1/4 of the way up

some pics of the hotel my family stayed at

DSCF1135.jpg

DSCF1248.jpg

      I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
